A global leader in information management, OpenText offers integrated solutions in cybersecurity, analytics, content services, business networks, DevOps, and IT management, OpenText empowers organizations to fully manage their data, content, and private information and keep it safe against cybersecurity threats. OpenText was founded through a partnership between the University of Waterloo and Oxford University in 1991 to create the first online Oxford English Dictionary. Timothy Bray, Frank Tompa, and Gaston Gonnet worked to develop software that would allow users to search any word on any webpage. That project later became OpenText, and three decades later, the company has served more than 120,000 enterprise customers across industries such as financial services, healthcare, energy, manufacturing, and public sector. In 2025, OpenText was named one of Canada’s Most Responsible Companies and one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People. The company was also named one of Canada’s Most Innovative Companies by Canadian Business in 2024 and was one of the 20 Hottest AI Software Companies in the 2024 CRN AI 100. OpenText continues to encourage industry innovation and growth with its cloud, security, and AI solutions.
